So as the title mentions, I’m wondering how much is too much?

I am currently using Brave with the setting to:

  • Aggressively block trackers & ads
  • Only connect with HTTPS
  • Block fingerprinting
  • Block cross-site cookies

In addition to that, I have installed the following extensions:

  • uBlock Origin
  • Ghostery
  • Decentraleyes
  • DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials

So my question is: Is this overkill? If so, what should/could be removed that may be redundant? I want as much coverage as possible, but not have things bloated.

    This makes no sense.

    How do you expect to convince a large group to stop using a product? Just by saying “he’s bad”?

    Be honest with yourselves and admit it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling of “sticking up to the man” by doing… Nothing.

    You see you are deluding yourselves in believing you are making a change, but it’s all in your head.

      Have you never heard of a boycott?

      I’ve said why I think he’s bad, therefore I boycott him and his product. There are other people out there doing exactly the same.

      I’m not really sure how you’re struggling with this
